Second Coming Keeps Coming

Check out David P. Miller's entry for the poem-a-day Second Coming series over at the Indolent Books website.

Thanks, David!

David P. Miller just left this review for my book All's Well Isn't You, out from  LJMcD Communications. 

"Chad Parenteau is a past master of what goes unsaid. Watch out - if you read these brief poems quickly, you may not have read them at all. They're worth taking more time with than you expect."

You can order a copy today off of Amazon today.

Nice Job

 

Congratulations to David Miller for getting published in The Arts Fuse as this week's poetry feature.

 

Happy Birthday, David P. Miller

Stone Soup Croutons, 1-11-23: This is Life, You Admit

Stone Soup Croutons is a weekly poem I write using lines and impressions selected from Stone Soup Poetry's open mic readers and features. I figure out a title (and sometimes the rest of the poem) later. You can read the other ones I've done since 2015 here.

 

David Miller read in person for Stone Soup on Wednesday. Despite lighting issues, we even have video of it. A small gathering that yielded great poems from his set. Because of David succinct selection and the small open mic, this week's entry might be a record for shortest crouton poem. That's okay. I'll write more later. Thanks for reading.

This is Life, You Admit

Cracked tree competes

with roach over durability.

David P. Miller at Stone Soup Poetry, 1-11-23

From our live gathering at Fort Point Arts Community's Assemblage Gallery. Best to quote Miller here: "The crowd was - well, select (and self-selected) - but it was a good get-together. We just put our chairs in a circle. And gratifyingly, the ratio of attendees to book sales was all one could ask for - not exactly 1:1, but darn close. My thanks for that. (This does not happen on Zoom.)"

 

 

A Different Night

It was a great gathering for David Miller. I think we all walked away with a copy of his latest collection, Bend in the Stair. Thanks to Miller and everyone who was able to come out on a cold winter night.

Going

Heading to the train to get to the Assemblage Gallery. Hope to see you for David Miller's Stone Soup reading tonight.

Stone Soup Croutons, 1-4-23: This is New, I Suppose

Stone Soup Croutons is a weekly poem I write using lines and impressions picked from Stone Soup Poetry's open mic readers and features. I figure out a title (and sometimes the rest of the poem) later. You can read the other ones I've done since 2015 here.

 

Stone Soup started up again with an all-open mic this past Wednesday. I was giddy. 

Then I went to the dentist. Now I'm recovering. From the fact that I referenced Santa Claus yet again! 

At least I got to the new year with this poem. Barely. At least I'm getting warmed up for next week's in-person feature David P. Miller. Thanks for reading.

This is New, I Suppose

Somewhere in Italy,

statue of David 

in child's pose,

wants to submit 

while other idols

are topled.

In January

David P. Miller is our first gallery feature of 2023.

January 11: David P. Miller Kicks off Stone Soup in Person Shows

Stone Soup Poetry starts off 2023 with more in person gatherings as promised. Our first get-together at the Assemblage Gallery will be with poet David P. Miler on January 11. David has a lot of history with both Stone Soup and the Fort Point arts scene. He's the perfect choice to be our first feature as we continue to welcome back old friends, introduce new voices and celebrate Stone Soup entering its fifty-second year of existence.

Stay tuned for the forthcoming Eventbrite page and other news.

 

Happy Birthday, David Miller

SAFE DISTANCE EDITION - Stone Soup Croutons, 7-7-21: Lonely Bowl Grieves Cheating Dish

Stone Soup Croutons is a weekly poem I write using lines and impressions picked from Stone Soup Poetry's open mic readers and features. I figure out a title (and sometimes the rest of the poem) later. You can read the other ones I've done since 2015 here.

I also have an award nominated book out now collecting the best of my first year of poems. Click here to purchase it.

World's in climate change hell, but at least we had a nice open mic on Wednesday. I freely admit to stealing the idea in David Miller's first poem and forcing it into the rest of this poem. Luckily, the rest of the open mic helped enable me. It's nonsense once again, but it's fun nonsense.

Looking forward to Andrew K. Peterson's feature next week. Until then, here's the poem. thanks for reading.

Lonely Bowl Grieves Cheating Dish

No one asks what follows

after cow hurdles moon, only

hard ground, mocking dog in sight?

Guess what happened to 
American Woman

finally shooed away?
